Jessica Alba Gets Ready For “The Love Guru”

Enjoying their first Memorial Day as a married couple, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren stepped out on a sunny day in San Demis on Monday (May 26).

Besides her recent nuptials and baby preparations, Alba is also readying for the upcoming release of her new movie, The Love Guru, due out in theaters on June 20th.

Co-starring the always hilarious Mike Myers, The Love Guru is the story of “Pitka, an American raised outside of his country by gurus, who returns to the States in order to break into the self-help business. His first challenge: To settle the romantic troubles and subsequent professional skid of a star hockey player whose wife left him for a rival athlete.”

In a recent interview with UWeekly, Alba answered a few questions about her soon-to-be-released comedy and life in general.

UW: Knowing that Mike has a tendency to improve, did you find it difficult to keep up with him when he did, or did you find it challenging and fun?

Alba: It was fun; it was so much fun — you know, going to work and not really knowing how that day is going to go, and it being so unpredictable, and you fly by the seat of your pants — that is most fun to me. Whether it be in comedy or drama or whatever, and you know, certainly in comedy, it keeps the energy up and keeps it interesting.

UW: You are recently married and expecting your first child, and now your work with “The Love Guru.” What would your best advice be to someone in the matter of love?

Alba: In the matter of love. Well, you definitely need to be on the path of loving yourself before you are capable of sharing your life or your heart with anyone else. And I think a lot of people look for love to validate themselves or to lose themselves in, you know, putting themselves second, and it’s easy to get lost in a relationship. But you have to love yourself first before you’re even ready for that kind of thing.
